A Replica Adventure

​This is a project website covering the construction of a historic aircraft replica and my plans to recreate the epic flight Charles Lindbergh took in his Lockheed Sirius. Check out the history, my blog, and the construction log.

Another layer at last

July 01, 2013  /  Todd Hunt

After a week vacation away all last week, a pilgrimage of sorts, I got back in the shop tonight for another layer on #7. For my trip I took my family out to DC where we went to see the traditional sites of monuments and Smithsonians. Of course, we all went to see the original Sirius. It was the first time my boys and Aimee had seen it. We took a bunch of picts (soon to be posted in the gallery) and I read a bit more at the display. I found a depiction of the route the Lindberghs took on their second trip to Europe in the Sirius and I think I might have found out their intended return route from China they had planned before the capsize in the Yangtze river. I'll check on that with NASM when I get a chance. Keep an eye out for the updated picts in the gallery!!
